Palmeiras in talks for Luighi and Facundo, more exits possible | OneFootball

After a season without titles for Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, Anderson Barros, and Abel Ferreira are looking to put into practice all the planning laid out for 2026 with arrivals, departures, and contract renewals. With offers on the table for Luighi and Facundo Torres, the team may lose even more players.

Facundo and Luighi close to leaving

In recent days, Verdão has received three offers from clubs in Brazil and abroad for striker Luighi, who came up through the club’s youth system and has been with the first team since 2024. The names of the clubs have not been revealed.

The Palmeiras football board is evaluating the conditions and does not rule out negotiating the young player during this transfer window. The Academy graduate scored Alviverde’s first goal of the 2026 season against Portuguesa, in the opening match of the Paulista Championship.

In addition to the offers received for striker Luighi, Verdão has also been approached regarding a possible sale of Facundo Torres. The Uruguayan joined Alviverde last year.

Palmeiras has received an offer from Austin FC, from the United States, for the sale of Uruguayan striker Facundo Torres. According to information from The Athletic and confirmed by NOSSO PALESTRA, the Major League Soccer team is willing to pay around US$9.5 million (R$51 million) for the player. Negotiations are still ongoing.

More departures on the horizon

In addition to the duo, goalkeeper Weverton, defender Micael, and midfielder Anibal Moreno have already left the club. Palmeiras does not rule out further departures and will not play hardball in the event of new offers for other players.

The 2026 Palmeiras budget, approved in 2026, has its largest source of revenue coming from player transfers. Of the projected R$1.2 billion in revenue for next year, R$399.6 million is expected to come from transfers.

This figure is similar to recent years. However, both in 2024 and 2025, Verdão completed the departures of Endrick and Estêvão, two youth talents highly sought after by the European market from a very young age.
